Excited and slightly nervous for my second LD48. My last game went pretty well (click here to read the post-mortem, complete with game and soundtrack links<\/a>) and I learned a lot about scope and time management. I had so much fun on it I’m working on a spinoff, and plan on having a full release within the next couple years once I do some more prototyping!<\/p>\n

Since the last Ludum Dare I’ve released several more games. LD hooked me on game jams so much I went on a bit of a “game jam binge,” participating in as many game jams as I could. I’ve made about six games<\/a> since LD #28 (plus two more games for an Infectious Diseases class I was taking), many were with my partner Kristin Magann of RainbowSexyFish<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Anyway I will be reading over my post-mortem like crazy before starting this time so I won’t repeat any previous mistakes (we’ll see how that goes). Can’t wait for the theme, many of them are looking pretty interesting!<\/p>\n

I will be using:<\/p>\n

~ Stencyl most likely, but mayyybe Unity if the theme inspires something I know I can program (I just started using Unity recently, still learning the ropes). If I use Stencyl I may end up using some personal code libraries depending on the type of game I make.<\/p>\n

~ Photoshop 5 for art<\/p>\n

~ Guitar Pro 5 and VOPM for sound and music, possibly free domain stuff from Freesound or self-recorded sound effects. Audacity for any additional tweaks.<\/p>\n

~ Pencil and paper for fleshing out concepts!<\/p>\n

Good luck everyone and happy jamming!<\/p>","time":"April 23rd, 2014 1:32 am","title":"I\u2019m in (my second LD48)! Time to get weird?"}
